the storm team 4 joins us now to explain why that is, amany elia. matt this storm was a tricky forecast. it came together on friday and impacting the area on saturday so i want to go over what we forecast here. thisho is the totals, check it out. we get a widespread four-to-seven inches across the area, including the entire d.c. metro area in the sweet spot, five-to-ten inches there we upped our snowfall amounts. this was before any snow hit on saturday. can you see washington and to the south. by the way, friday and saturday we were verballha saying we think some spots will come in at a foot and while we did see that materialize, initially, we thought that would be south of

walk. because on saturday morning, we thought that north of thest ct would be four-to-eight inches. what happened? the area got ad widespr six-to-ten inches of snow with a sweet spot setting up i washington. northern prince george, loudoun and fairfaxun es. so the take away. the sweet spot was north, not south. this was a hig impact event. a two loaf bread event. m all thee reason, pat, leon, to monitor your weather forecast daily. especially for the upcoming weekend. >> thanks, amelia. now, let's get back to those grueling q stions about the president and russia after two bombshell reports over the weekend. on friday the "new york times" reported the fing of james comey triggered an fbi investigation into whether the president was working t advance russia interests and not the u.s. then on saturday "the washington post reported the president work to hide the

readouts and any evidence of his meetings with vladimir putin such as the one in helsinki. here toake sense of both reports, justice reporter julia ainsley. ad to have you here. you figure this stuff out of course. what is new wre. s this if ib fib investigation from the robert mueller investigation? >> reporter: that's a great question, for anyone following the mueller information. they're familr with one word, collusion that's whether or not the trump campaign clued with the russian government to influence the 2016 election. this report movers beyond the election, into the white house and whether or not the president acted on behalf of russia if his work as president. >> that would be a national secuty concern. that's why it triggered a counterintelligence investigation at the fbi. what is not clear is how far that continued. it could be they handed it over to robert mueller. we know this was opened before mueller was assigned special counsel. >> how about the things, the meetings the president had wit

vladimir putin and him not legislate evidence or notes or readouts from thoseo meetings to either his staff or the congress at all. today the president saidkihose of meetings happen all the time. no big dealo whatu make of that? is there anything congress can get to anying thatappened in these moteings? >> reporter: well the president is protected by executive privilege. national security could upend those privileges. congress could subpoena and the ent told his interpreter not to keep their notes from the meetings that he had with president putin and instead to make it completely confidential. cthat's somethinggress could potentially act upon. but it's not clear again if executive privilege could protect those meetings. >> this stuff gets more and moin resting as we go along, thank you so much. appreciate that. >> thankou. nb news will be working the latest developments on this all day long. they will hav complete coverage on nbc nightly news at 7:00
